Laney Margolis, Humanist Celebrant

I am an approved Humanist Celebrant by the American Humanist Society, allowing me to perform secular ceremonies in all 50 states. My services range from weddings, engagements, elopements, vow renewals, and unions. However, I exclusively provide officiant services for individuals who want non-religious ceremonies without any prayer or reference to God. If your event indicates a religious affiliation, I will promptly decline unless you instruct otherwise. I am available to travel within a 60-mile range of Durham.

My services extend to both intimate living room ceremonies or grand traditional weddings in event venues. As a licensed clinical psychologist, experienced public speaker, and professional writer, I will ensure your ceremony reflects your personalities and values. I am dedicated to diversity and inclusion and accept all types of unions. My fees start at $300 for standard ceremonies, $175 for rehearsal attendance, and an additional $250 for a fully customized ceremony. I also provide expert pre-marital counseling to guarantee your union starts off on the right foot.

Being an officiant brings me so much joy as I get to interact with incredible couples on one of their most memorable days. As a psychologist, most of my regular work involves aiding those in tough circumstances, so officiating provides the perfect balance in my professional life. As a secular officiant who values diversity and inclusivity, it's rewarding to integrate some of my personal values into work life.

Note: CrackerJack charges a fee to service providers like me every time a customer contacts me, even if the customer doesn't follow up. Therefore, please only select me if you’re genuinely interested in my services to avoid unnecessary expenses. This helps me maintain reasonable prices. Thank you!
